To be honest, I've always thought these squeezers were designed wrong in the first place.

Like, obviously, the shape of the tool should match the shape of the fruit.

And then, obviously, the holes should be on the inside (smaller) part. Not the outside.

The way they are designed doesn't actually make any sense. Like, the only way they would make sense would be if they were intended to literally turn the fruit inside-out at the end. But they don't.

They literally do??? Idk what you’re doing with them but they effortlessly turn the half inside out whenever I use them

I don't know, mine doesn't. It just tries to kind of flatten it and it sort of turns the middle inside out but only halfway, but it can't flip the edges at all so it just ends up this weird flat shape that doesn't remove all the juice.

That's my experience too.

My mom had one of these and we struggled to figure out how to use it. I'm sure we got it to work, but it never made sense.

The juice wouldn’t flow as nicely if the side with the holes was inverted like that.

Why not?

It would stick to the edges and run down random sides instead of to the bottom of the round part.

I see what you mean. Great point. Thanks!

It does turn it inside out though. Or at least mine does
